Over the years you may have seen actors being cast to play the role of a character from a fiction or non-fiction novel for a film or TV series, but have you come across an actor that has been asked to portray a book character as a real person, with a complete set of social media accounts?

One among the world's best-selling authors, James Patterson, recently cast actor Cory Tucker in the lead role of Detective Caleb Rooney in his new fictional thriller 'The Chef.' Cory is best known for his work with Michael Bay in 'Pearl Harbor' and playing "Buzz Aldrin" in 'Transformers 3- Dark Side of the Moon'. His most notable television work includes guest star appearances in 'NCIS', 'The Orville', 'Bones' and 'True Blood'.

Playing the role of Detective Caleb Rooney on 'The Chef', Tucker has been showcased in photos and videos, bringing the book to life in app-based storytelling for the revolutionary online marketing campaign before the release of the hard copy book on February 18, 2019. You will see him play "police detective by day, celebrity food truck chef by night."
